Star Wars: Warriors of the Force

"I don't like it, guys." Tari said, being sure to keep nice and close to Tacit, Ty, Katri, and Gashon. "Something's just not right. Not about that man, nor about this Jedia attack. I'm no mastermind at battles and things, but it just doesn't add up."

[JasraLantill]

A short distance away, Zev was keeping track of the man approaching Tacit and his companions. He was easy to track from up here, his torchlight bouncing up and down as he scrambled his way noisily through the undergrowth.

 

"Clumsy," Zev said, with a shake of the head. "But would an enemy approach so blatantly? I think not."

 

Satisfied that the approaching man (Jack) wasn't a threat to Tacit, Zev settled down to watch him and the ones who travelled with him. With one of them wounded, they would be slower, easier to track. Not that they hadn't been easy to track before this.

 

The girl Tacit seemed to be protecting...she was very easy to track. Her tracks were heavy, and her footfalls loud. Nevermind her incessant chatter.

 

But as long as Tacit was safe, that's all that mattered to Zev.

[Writer]

"No, it doesn't," Katri agreed quietly, glancing over at Tacit. She sensed nervousness rolling off of him and it bothered her. Something was definitely not right about all of this. The more she thought of it, the less she liked it. This little journey was getting worse by the minute. Then, she sensed another presense.

 

"Someone is approaching," she told Tacit, being sure to keep her voice low enough that only Tacit would hear. "I don't sense any hostile intentions... but I'll be the first to admit I've not had adequate time to train myself to use my Jedia abilities so well as you seem to."

He stopped for a second, spinning his rifle around by the trigger with his right hand and spinning to a crouch, looking behind them, aiming the rifle in the direction of Zev. He fired a shot off but he couldn't see if it hit or not, but really the laser blast just skimmed Zev's right shoulder- but Ty was never the wiser.

 

He sighed and stood back up, catching up with them once more. "It's nothing, if they wanted to make themselves known, they would have by now."

[JasraLantill]

Without even flinching, Zev looked at the singed shoulder pad from the stray shot fired by Tacit's companion, Ty. Reaching up into the branches, Zev picked a large spiky seed pod, aimed, and hurled it towards a tree trunk below. The cone richocheted in precisely the angle Zev had wanted it to.

 

It's sharp spiny outer covering struck Ty from behind, directly below his belt.

 

Under the mask, Zev grinned. Tacit was the one Zev was tasked to protect. His companions...well, they were just amusing annoyances for the moment.

[The Doctor]

"He's been following us for the past few hours," muttered Tacit. "He's no danger. I sense nothing but... curiousity. A touch of arrogance, but..."

[Xbx_Inthusiast]

Ty jumped a tad when it hit him, bbut soon recovered his posture and began walking. He knew who threw it, but he didn't care. It was better than knowing who it is and having an all out fight with them.

As Jack continued to head up the mountain, he heard voices. He knelt down and dimmed his flashlight He continued to hear the voices but was never able to make out what they were saying. Moving very quickly, he crept towards where the voices were coming from. He soon found himself at the top of a slope that leed onto a pathway. He decided to slid down onto the pathway. He noticed the voices were getting louder and clearer.

 

He turned his flashlight back to full power and turned to the diraction of the voices. He could just barely see outline of four or five people among the trees. "I hope it god these guys aren't hostile..."

[The Doctor]

Tacit flipped his weapon over in his hand, igniting it, as he spun around on the spot to face the light that was no pointed at them. He raised a hand a reached out, pulling the individual towards them roughly. A rather bulky looking man with a large blaster rifle fell to his face in front of him. Tacit kicked the blaster to the side, where Gashon ran to pick it up.

"Who are you?" asked Tacit threateningly.

[steven]

"Jack. And you are?" Jack pushed himself up and brushed the dirt off his clothes "You wouldn't happen to be with the Oshtenvul would you? Because if you are my not an enemy.. I'm neutral.."

[The Doctor]

Tacit felt no deception from 'Jack', but kept his weapon pointed at his chest all the same. "Tacit. And no, we're not Oshtenvul. We're trying to get away from them, actually. I have to get... my friend here... out of the province for a while."

[steven]

"Really? Intersting..."Jack said as he took off his Jacket and continued to brush the dirt off it. "I'm sort of doing the same. I wanted to get out of the city before... Well this happened. So who do you getting out of the province?"

[The Doctor]

Tacit laughed. "You expect me to tell someone I just met which one of us is important enough to need an escort out of here?" He ginned. "And here I thought soldiers had no sense of humour."

[steven]

"Good point. I'm sure your the type of person who never trusts or travel with anyone thye just met, out of the blue. Now thats over can I have my gun back and I'll be on my way.." He extended a hand for his weapon "And I'm a piolt.. not a soldier.. We're similar expect we get to do loads of cool and dangerous stuff, and we get less pay.. and more blame...."

[Xbx_Inthusiast]

Ty spun around Tacit, pushing him backwards and withdrawing his sword, bringing it down so where the point of the tip of the blade was a few inches from the crown of his head. "He's not hostile, but I am. Now we keep the gun, and you waltz your clumsy ass back to where you came from, we don't need another one to trust," he said, tightening the grip on his sword. He wasn't going to let Tacit give the man his weapon back.

[The Doctor]

Tacit reached out with his mind and threw Ty's hand into the air, sending the sword flying into the tree behind him.

"Knock it off, Ty," he said. He threw the pilot his gun. "There. Take it. We have no use for it - far too uncivilized for my liking."

[JasraLantill]

Watching with interest from the treetops, Zev nearly let out a snicker as Tacit sent Ty's sword flying into a tree. And with such force, too! The sword's blade was buried halfway into the trunk, and it would take some effort on Ty's part to retrieve it.

 

Zev was pleased with Tacit's progress, and underneath the mask, Zev smiled.

[steven]

"Thank you," Jack said as he cought his gun "Well I'll be on my way." He turned to leave. However, something came to mind causing him to turn back "Would any of you happen to have a radio or com? I have a good friend and his family I'm worried about. He usually has a radio on him and the frequence to contect him."

[The Doctor]

"Sorry," said Tacit, shaking his head. "Too easy to track."

[Xbx_Inthusiast]

Ty walked over to the tree and grasped it with one hand, turning towards Tacit and walking towards him, the sword sliding out of the tree as the trunk split and fell. He put the sword in his hand-made sheath. "Do that again, and I'll be forced to kill you, Tacit." He said, walking off back towards a nearby village.

 

"My trip is through, i'm leaving. Tari, if you need me, you know where to find me," he said, walking away from the group.

[The Doctor]

Tacit pulled Ty's sword from it's sheath and threw it into a tree again. He rose his own blade. "Make good on that threat. I dare you."

[steven]

Jack stepped back, out of the way. He wasn't planning to stop the fight and he wasn't going to join in. He didn't care much for Ty, really he would liked it if he died, and he knew that the Tacit would easily take down Ty, the only question was if Ty would die or not.

[ForceFightWMe12]

"Enough!" Tari shouted, standing between the two men and throwing her arms out, as if to hold them away from eachother. Her eyes were narrowed and her brow furrowed as she stared hard at the two. "I will not allow you two to cut each other up. I'm tired of the fighting. Ty, stay where you are. Unless I'm mistaken, you owe me quite a bit of money, meaning you're not going anywhere. Tacit, my father owes you quite a bit of money if I make the journey alive and safe, which puts you under my control. So, here's a deal for you two. Ty, if you stay with us and provide extra protection to myself and Katri to the forest and back to the Embassy, I will held you debt repaid. Tacit, you already know the limitations of your deal with my father. However, if either of you attempt to hurt each other again, then the deals are off. I'll be sure that your pay is cut, Tacit, and upon return to the Embassy, I'll be taking your bike and a month's worth of work in the Embassy to repay your debt, Ty. Am I clear?"

[The Doctor]

Tacit narrowed his eyes at Ty, not lowering his weapon. "I don't take kindly to threats," he growled. He moved towards Ty, but didn't go around Tari - he wasn't going to try to get her out of the way. "I don't like threats, I don't like bullies... and I don't like you, Ty." He deactivated his sword. "If you threaten me one more time, you're gone. I don't care how much money you owe her," he spat, indicating Tari. "Gods know she has enough money anyway."

[Xbx_Inthusiast]

He smirked. "As long as he's done being a prick, i'll stay." He headed over to the tree and pulled it out easily again, twirling it and sticking it into his sheath. He walked past Tacit and Tari, stepping into his original position, turning back around. "And you're the bully, geohound."
